Scammers Allegedly Drain $1,200,000 From US Banks, Impersonate at Least 20 Customers in Massive Fraud Scheme: DOJ

A Massachusetts duo is accused of stealing more than $1.2 million from US banks.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) says 67-year-old William Shaw and 59-year-old Rosemary Parks impersonated bank customers using fake driver’s licenses containing the customers’ information combined with their own photos.

Shaw allegedly impersonated at least 11 bank customers between December of 2022 and March of 2025 to withdraw a combined $674,000, while Parks is accused of impersonating at least eight bank customers between August of 2024 and October of 2024 to withdraw $536,000.

The withdrawals were made in cashier’s checks and cash.

The duo’s charges are related to a broader investigation that resulted in six men being charged in July 2025 with conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Beginning in December of 2022, the six men allegedly committed a multi-million-dollar bank defrauding scheme by stealing names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and bank account numbers of customers at various banks in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Shaw is facing four counts of bank fraud and four counts of aggravated identity theft. Parks is facing three counts of bank fraud and three counts of aggravated identity theft.

A bank fraud charge alone carries a sentence of up to 30 years in prison, five years of supervised release and a fine of at least $1 million.

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy. The Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, rose 2.3% YoY, in line with both forecasts and the previous month’s reading. On a monthly basis, core inflation increased by 0.3%, unchanged from July, highlighting persistent underlying price pressures in the bloc. Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
